The
March of Progress (pictured) is a now discredited theory that said
humans (far right) evolved from chimps (far left). The image gives an
illustrative view of different stages in the evolution of hominids.
Modern-day humans have many extinct cousin species that share a
common ancestor. These include: Homo heidelbergensis, Neanderthals
and Homo erectus
Mother:

Son:

Neanderthals again.
This
time it's about their skeletal structure and posture.
Neanderthals
may have walked more upright than modern humans.
They
also may have had stronger lungs than us.
Neanderthals
in marathon runs would have wiped our butts (but not literally).
IT'S
ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES AND NEANDERTHALS
